I ran this recipe last summer, but I decided to post it again because it's simply delicious. There’s nothing more refreshing as a summer dessert than the combination of lemon and blueberry. This dessert is so easy, you won’t believe it. It’s so delicious, your family and friends will ask you to make it, again and again.

I used a 7 inch by 11 inch clear glass dish in which to assemble my dessert because the graham crackers fit very nicely in the bottom. If you don’t have a dish this size, simply use whatever you have, snapping the graham crackers into pieces that will fit into the bottom for the “crust.”

Summery Lemon Blueberry Dessert

2 boxes (2.9 oz) lemon “cook and serve” pudding

2/3 cup sugar

4 egg yolks

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel (optional)

4 cups water (divided)

1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed

10 graham crackers

1 pint fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried

1.In a saucepan, stir together the dry lemon pudding mix, sugar, egg yolks, lemon peel, and 1/2 cup water until smooth. Make sure all of the pudding mix is well-incorporated. Add the additional 3 1/2 cups water and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until pudding comes to a boil and thickens. Set aside to cool.

2.Add Cool Whip to the cooled pudding mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.

3.Assemble your dessert: Line the bottom of a 7 inch x 11 inch oblong dish with 4 graham crackers. Top with half of the pudding, smoothing into an even layer. Top pudding with half of the blueberries. Add 4 more graham crackers, pressing down a bit so the crackers are in contact with the pudding. Layer on the remaining pudding and spread into an even layer. Top with remaining blueberries. Place remaining 2 graham crackers into a plastic baggie and crush into crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs evenly over the top of the pudding.

4.Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to give the “crust” time to soften.

Have plain ol’ brownies ever
made you yawn? Here’s a pick-me-up that is sure to make you smile. When the box
of brownie mix sitting in my pantry made me say, “Meh,” I knew I needed a
solution. Quick. So I concocted this fast and easy fix that will turn ordinary brownies
into extraordinary! I’ll never look at brownies the same way again.

I call these Double Chocolate
English Toffee Brownies and my husband LOVES them.

Bake a batch of brownies as directed
on the box. As soon as you pull the pan out of the oven, sprinkle the brownies
with 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate pieces (use more, if you like). I use
Nestles Mini Morsels because they melt faster than the regular sized chocolate chips.
Wait about five minutes and then use a butter knife to spread the chocolate
evenly over the top of the brownies. While the chocolate is still lusciously
melty, sprinkle about a cup of Heath English Toffee Bits over the top. Wait
until the brownies cool and then cut into squares. Delicious!

Do you have
a quick and easy fix that changes a recipe from ordinary to extraordinary?

While I have your attention,
can I tell you about the newest book in my A Family Forever Series? A REASON TO
BELIEVE is a cute little fairy tale that’s chockfull of Irish Folklore. It’s
available in ebook and in paperback. I hope you’ll look for it!

About the book:

It seems
like a grand idea, temporarily trading her pixie wings for a womanly form to
help handsome widower Paul Roland with his baby girl. And the moment she holds
the precious bairn in her arms, Fern knows true happiness for the first time.

But Fern never anticipates
the dizzying emotions she feels for the man who not only needs her as a nanny,
but as a woman whose passion can heal his wounded heart. Suddenly the forbidden
fairy rule she gently bends because of the baby is in danger of being
irrevocably broken.
